Hi guys,

I know that a lot of people including professors, CEOs, professionals,
politicians, etc are using GTD but I'm wondering if you can provide me
with a list of famous successful people (esp the ones in news) that
implement GTD. I think it can help me convince more people of the
effectiveness of this methodology.

(I was browsing google video when I accidentally came across a video
that stated Tony Blaire was using GTD?!)

I am using GTD, but have yet to be discovered ;-)

I am using GTD but will only be worth something after I'm dead.

He's not super famous, but James Fallows, whose been a prominent
journalist for the Atlantic for at least 15 years (when I began
reading him regularly), is a big fan of GTD and wrote a nice article
about it a couple years ago:

Well, not sure if this is an official endorsement or not, but since
Tony Blair was mentioned, something for Canadians as well:

check out http://www.davidco.com/press_links.php, there are lots of
articles there, some may mention people like you're looking for. you
might also search a news source like Google News for "GTD" or "David
Allen"

This is odd. There was no search bar in their site. I googled it but
nothing notable popped up.

Have you found sth directly related?
